W/T/VESSES A TORNEYS JOHN FRED SALOHLI, OF FRANKFORT, KENTUCKY.

GARMENT-CLASP.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 29, 1906.

Application filed April 2'7, 1905. Serial No. 257,563-

To all whom it uny concern:

Be it known that I, JoHN FRED SALCHLI, a citizen of the United States, residing at Frankfort, county of Franklin, and State of Kentucky, have invented new and useful Improvements in GarmentGlasps, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in garment-supports for temporarily attaching the dress-skirt or similar garment to a waist.

The object of my invention is to provide a garment-support which will not be accidentally detached from the garment when in use, but which may be readily detached and removed therefrom when desirous to wash the same; and it pertains more especially, first, to the construction of the garment-supporting pin and its point-inclosing cap, and, second, to the construction of the garment with which the pin is connected.

My invention is further explained by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents the skirt-supporting pin in connection with the skirt and dress waist. Fig. 2 represents a portion of the waistband of a dress-waist provided with a plurality of eyelets for the reception of the skirt-supporting pin. Fig. 3 represents a horizontal section through the waistband provided with my improved fasteningpin, showing a modified form of the point-inclosing nut or cap; and skirt-supporting pin, showing a modified form of the retaining-cap, and hook removed from the garment.

Like parts are identified by the same reference-letters throughout the several views.

The fastening-pin comprises the cylindrical body portion A, provided with a head B and a screw-threaded point C.

D represents a screw-threaded nut or cap which when the pin is inserted in a garment serves to retain it in place and prevent the liability of its becoming accidentally detached.

In the preferred form (shown in Figs. 3 and 4) the pin-retaining cap is elongated, so as to cover the point of the pin, whereby acciden tal contact therewith is prevented, while its elongated portion E serves as a handle by which the nut is more readily manipulated Fig. 4 represents the when attaching it to or removing it from the pin. I

One side of the nut D is preferably provided with a concave-shaped depression E, converging inwardly around its central aper ture F, which depression serves to facilitate inserting the pin in such aperture.

In the preferred form shown in Fig. 3 the walls of the longitudinal aperture of the nut or cap converge, so as to contact with the tapered sides of the point, and serve the twofold purpose of a stop and as a means of bind ing the nut as it is turned down against said tapered point, whereby the liability of the nut or cap becoming accidentally unscrewed is diminished.

F represents a dress-waist provided with two sets, of two each, of eyelets G G and H H for the reception of the fastening-pin, which fastening-pin is inserted first through the two eyelets G G, which serve to hold one end of the pin, and then through the set of eyelets H H, which serve to hold the opposite end of the pin.

When the pin is thus inserted, as indicated in Figs. 1 and 3, it is secured in place by the nut or cap D. I represents a dress-skirt which is provided with an ordinary dress-hook J, which when the garments are worn is adapted to engage the central portion of the pin between the eyelets G G and H H, whereby the garments are securely connected together.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is l The combination of a dress-waist provided with a plurality of eyelets formed in two sets of two eyelets each, a skirt, a hook secured to said skirt and a pin provided at one end with a fixed head and at its opposite end with a removable screw-threaded nut, said pin being secured in said eyelets by said nut, while the suspension-hook of said skirt is adapted to engage the central portion of said pin between the respective sets of eyelets, all substantially as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I affiX my signature in the presence of two witnesses. I

JOHN FRED SALCHLI. Witnesses:
